A new generation of processors is now emerging which addresses the modular processing requirements for a wide range of multispectrum applications envisioned for the late-20th/early-21st century. Due to the complexity of interaction among software modules and hardware devices simulation techniques are required to verify that specific configurations support application requirements. This paper demonstrates how simulation results can provide useful information for validation objectives. For this study, a system-level architectural model of one such processor was written in a conventional programming language oriented toward simulation of computer environments.

System-level simulation of a next generation, multi-sensor concurrent signal processor

A recently-developed system simulation environment for multiple resource systems is described. The simulation tool integrates the description and simulation of software objects, hardware objects, interconnection topologies and user applications. In this study, a distributed operating system, which cooperatively manages the activity of multiple processors; a VLSI-oriented floating point signal processor; a shared memory architecture; and an application data flow graph [1] are investigated.
